A Detroit mother is facing the possibility of jail time for choosing not to vaccinate her son.

Rebecca Bredo said she and her son's father decided to space out or delay some of the vaccines.

After research, Bredo said she chose to waive some of the vaccines, which is legal in Michigan.

Now, her son's father said he wants the boy vaccinated.

The disagreement moved to a courtroom where judge ordered that the boy gets the shots or the mother will go to jail.

“I feel angry. I feel backed into a corner. I feel like my rights as a parent has been taken away. What about my choice as mother who is primary caretaker who solely takes care of my son?” she said.

The court order ruled Bredo has one week to vaccinate her son. If not, she'll go to jail for violating the ruling.
